English Teacher's surreal lyricism forms the backbone of their strain of alternative, which sees post-punk, psychedelic rock and art-indie influences collide.

Having supported the likes of Yellow Days, No Vacation, Lala Lala and Boogarins, and having recently been in the studio with legendary Beatles engineer and David Bowie producer, Ken Scott, the quartet's 2020 single 'You Won't Believe How Beautiful She Is When It Has Snowed' was made 'Song Of The Day' on The Line Of Best Fit, and their subsequent release as part of Come Play With Me's lockdown compilation, 'The Treacle Trap Door', highlighted them as BBC Introducing in West Yorkshire's Fresh Face. The band was also recently announced as grantees of the PPL Momentum Accelerator Fund, which will contribute towards working with Theo Verney (TRAAMS, Eqyptian Blue, FUR).

PRAISE FROM THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“Leeds-based quartet English Teacher’s new track “You Won’t Believe How Beautiful She Is When It Has Snowed” is an exploration of vocalist and songwriter Lily Fontaine’s relationship with her hometown. Calling on the track’s East Lancashire namesake, Pendle Hill, famed for its association with witchcraft, the cathartic new single from English Teacher looks to capture moments of anxiety and change through its lyrics and tender composition. The track poetically references the quintessentially British oil-painting beauty of a town, whereas, under its serene surface, it’s an exploration of Lily Fontaine’s identity as a mixed-race woman, as well as how her upbringing in that environment affected her.”
